Skinput is an innovative technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as a finger input surface.

An armband projects the interface onto the skin, enabling users to input data using a larger touchscreen than is offered by current mobile devices.

The location of finger taps on the arm and hand is determined by analyzing mechanical vibrations that propagate through the body

When you wash your hands in the kitchen as much as I do, bar soap and little pump dispensers just don’t make any sense. I love this glass-globe dispenser for its retro-cool schoolhouse charm and its big-volume convenience.

Mounting hardware included. Imported.

Torn Lights by Billy May are designed to elegantly blend into your room.

The idea behind the design was to muddle the barrier between the room and its contents, creating the illusion that light comes from the room itself.
